Life

Luitpold came from the Austrian margrave and ducal family of the Babenbergs (→ family list of the Babenbergs ). He was prepared for a spiritual career in the Fulda monastery . In later years he was provost in Bamberg.

He had Archbishop Bardo's hagiographic biography written by a chaplain named Vulkuld.

In 1052 he took with Pope Leo IX. took part in a celebration in Bamberg Cathedral on the feast of St. Luke and witnessed the confirmation of the privileges of the Bamberg Church. During his tenure, he founded the Lippoldsberg monastery on the Weser in northern Hesse . In Nörten he founded a collegiate church . In 1054 he had a synod held in Mainz.

After Heinrich III. had his son Heinrich IV crowned in Aachen by Archbishop Hermann II of Cologne , this led to resentment with Luitpold. This claimed the right to coronation exclusively for the Archbishops of Mainz.

Luitpold ruled from the year 1051 to December 7th, 1059, and was buried in the St. Jakobsberg Monastery, which he founded in 1055 on the "Schönen Berg" (Mons Speciosus).
